No. 394: Barcelona's new coach
Chinese football is really very noisy in this year!
A lot of players have gone abroad and made their way to European football. Of course, there are also many players who have returned to the local league.
In this year, Chinese football is really very beautiful, not only the national team has achieved unimaginable results in the Confederations Cup, but also more Chinese players have joined the army of studying abroad, and China's local league is getting hotter and hotter.
The current Chinese Super League is very hot, and major clubs have increased their investment, attracting more powerful and famous stars to play in the Chinese Super League, making the Chinese league more competitive.
For example, this season's Yuezhou Evergrande, they are too strong, and no one in the entire Chinese Super League has shaken the edge. Even in the Asian arena, Yuezhou Evergrande is also super strong, making Asian opponents daunting.
This year, Yuezhou has a great chance to bring the Asian Champions League back to China.
This year is a very glorious year for Chinese football, and it is also a year full of hope!
This year has been a happy year for Chinese fans!
Of course, it is also a very happy and exciting year for Dongfang Chen!
Because, Dongfang Chen knows that perhaps the championship of the Federation Cup will be the highest honor for Chinese football for a long time in the future.
At this time, Chinese football is really noisy, very noisy, some good and some bad!
At this time, Dongfang Chen didn't have so much energy to pay attention to this matter, because they ushered in a very important event, that is, the Spanish Super Cup.
This season's Spanish Super Cup is played between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The first leg was played at Barcelona's home stadium, Camp Nou, and now the Real Madrid players are preparing for this match.
This game can be regarded as the first official game of the season.
Real Madrid naturally takes this game very seriously, they will not be happy to lose to Barcelona, and they also have the ambition to become a six-time champion.
Naturally, they really want to get their hands on the Spanish Super Cup.
Of course, this game is also quite important for Barcelona, who naturally hope to regain their confidence and rise again through the Spanish Super Cup.
By the way, not long after the end of last season, Vilanova had already resigned.
Vilanova claimed at the time that he had a physical problem and that he could no longer continue to work in the position of head coach, so he chose to resign.
In fact, everyone knows very well that Bolanova does not have any big physical problems, his departure is already doomed, and his results in leading the team this season are too poor.
And it is said that the Barcelona players were also very dissatisfied with Vilanova, and in the end Vilanova had to choose to leave Barcelona.
More than half a month ago, Barcelona announced their team's trusted manager, and that person is Argentine Martino.
In fact, at the beginning, Vilanova's replacement was not Martino, Barcelona valued Enrique. Enrique played for Barcelona as a player and had a brilliant career, and Barcelona are hoping to let Enrique take over.
However, Enrique is now the head coach of Real Sociedad, and Enrique also hopes to take over the Barcelona team, but his contract with Real Sociedad has not been resolved, so he has not been able to become the new head coach of Barcelona.
Enrique's contract problem could not be solved, so Barcelona found Martino in a panic and asked Martino to accept Barcelona.
Martino was not only a replacement, but a "short-lived" replacement. The reason why Barcelona chose Martino, an unknown manager, is because they have regarded Martino as an over-the-top manager from the beginning.
Barcelona's hierarchy knew that Martino had only one season at Barcelona, so they chose Martino.
It is precisely because of Enrique's contract problem that the head coach of the Barcelona team has not been in place for a long time, knowing that Martino took over the team in a hurry more than half a month ago.
When he took over the team, Martino also knew that he was just an excessive manager, but he still had some resentment in his heart, and he was also holding back a lot of energy in his heart, he wanted to prove to the top management of Barcelona and fans around the world that he Martino was a powerful super coach.
Martino wants to prove it this season and make everyone regret that he underestimated him. It also adds enough weight for himself to be able to stay in Barcelona.
So, when he took over, Martino didn't see himself as an over-the-top manager, he was convinced that he could stay at Barcelona and that he would become a legendary coach at Barcelona.
After coming to Barcelona, Martino instantly hugged Messi's thick thighs, because he knew that Messi was the core of this team and the theme of this team.
He Martino is Argentine, and Messi is a fellow countryman, so the two naturally have a lot in common. And Martino's tactics are completely built around Messi, and Messi has become the key to Martino's continued stay in Barcelona.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Barcelona, Martino got into a relationship with Messi, and the relationship between the two was very good, and even once made media reporters suspect that Martino was actually recommended by Messi to Barcelona's top management. After all, few people know who Martino's figure really is.
In fact, before this, Martino still had a good coaching record, he was the head coach of the Paraguayan national team, leading the team to the World Cup in South Africa. But then there were no too good results, so it wasn't particularly famous.
For proud Barcelona fans, Martino is a nobody, how can such a person be worthy of Barcelona?
When Martino took over the team, Barcelona fans were very opposed to it, and even openly resisted it. Make Martino and don't let Martino take over the team.
However, when seeing the relationship between Martino and Messi, and the media reporters reported that Martino was the head coach recommended by Messi, some Barcelona fans quieted down.
Of course, there are some Barcelona fans who hate Martino even more, this guy is a relation, he definitely can't bring Barcelona!
These fans even blamed Messi, saying Messi, you are just a player, you can just play your own ball, can you interfere in the team's affairs? Don't think you're going to be able to cover the team with one hand, we need a healthy team, not someone's words.
Those who like to support Messi have temporarily accepted Martino, while those who hate and hate Messi hate Messi even more.
After taking over Barcelona, Martino faced countless doubts, which made his heart burn and he was also facing great pressure. He hopes to ease the pressure on himself and the doubts of the fans with some wins.
After taking over Barcelona, Martino led Barcelona to play a total of two games, both of which were rewarded. But this is all because the opponent is not very strong, so this does not reduce the pressure for Da.
Now, the Spanish Super Cup is in front of Martino!
Martino knows this is his chance, and he wants to seize it and prove to the world with one victory after another, with this Spanish Super Cup title!
Although the Real Madrid team in front of him is very strong, it is actually very prosperous. But he Martino has no choice, only by facing the difficulties, only by solving Real Madrid, his situation will be better, the pressure on him will be reduced, and his road to Barcelona will be more open.
At this time, Martino is very serious and serious, his requirements for the players of the Barcelona team are very high, during training, he involuntarily increased the amount, and he was more strict in training, which made the Barcelona players faintly dissatisfied.
Martino said in an interview with reporters: "Obviously, Real Madrid is very strong, now they are in full swing all over the world, almost everyone thinks that Real Madrid will start a big era, and this season's league championship is still Real Madrid!" However, I don't think so! ”
Martino continued: "I admit that Real Madrid is very strong. However, you must know that Real Madrid is not the only team in the world. We Barcelona are still strong, we are still the same team in the universe! ”
Martino continued: "For Real Madrid, we have only one goal for Barcelona and that is to win. This Spanish Super Cup is very important for us at Barcelona and we are not going to sit still. ”
Martino also said: "Dongfang Chen is very powerful, but Leo is stronger. In my eyes, Rafael Leao is the best player of this era, and Leao has a group of very good players around him, we are ready, we think that the victory in this game must belong to us Barcelona, we are very confident! ”
Martino's words were very imposing, which made Barcelona fans more satisfied. However, whether the process of this competition is the same as he said remains to be seen.
Barcelona fans are watching this game and want to see what level Martino is. Will Barcelona be able to beat Real Madrid, as he himself said?
The Barcelona players also gave interviews to the media before the game, but the Barcelona players did not have the same confidence as Martino.
Barcelona's full-back Jordi Alba told reporters: "The situation is not particularly good at the moment, after all, we have just changed the manager and we have to have time to adapt to the new tactics of the team. And our opponents have always maintained a very complete line-up, and there are reinforcements, they are stronger. ”
Alba added: "We will do everything we can to win this game and I believe that at Camp Nou we are still kings! ”
Barcelona's midfielder Xavi said in front of the media: "Dongfang Chen is very strong now, and the Real Madrid he leads is even stronger. It's a very tough opponent for us to play against, but we'll do everything we can and try to win this time in the national derby. ”
